Research and reports

A report by Nimmo-Bell for EECA and MAF Policy on the link between biofuel production and food prices.

This updated report confirms that the major drivers of food
prices identified in the September 2008 report remain the
same - oil price, food supply and demand, the US dollar
(USD), and market distorting policies.

This paper summarizes the findings of New Zealand-based research carried out during 2008 on overcoming the barriers to transport fleets adopting fuel saving measures.

This research included: a review of overseas best practice; a fuel efficiency trial involving car, bus and truck fleets; surveys of industry awareness and an analysis of the barriers to adopting fuel saving measures.
